Removal of the Western Indians.y
an extract of a letter from Gen. Atkin
son, to the Coinmander-in-Chief publish
ed in ihe Globe of June 18th, it appears
that the troublesome tribes of Indians
who have hitherto given so much annoy
ance to the northwestern frontier, have
consented to remove beyond the Mississ
ippi and the Lakes. The Winnebagoes
have already sent a considerable party
across the Wisconsin, and the rest of the
tribe seem disposed to follow. The Po
tawatamies propose to sell out, and re
move atler raising another crop. The
intrepid Col. Dodge is engaged in facili
tating the progress of the Indians to their
new homes. Their removal will open a
new and happy era in tho history of our
frontier settlements. Ohio Atlas.
Southern Indians. Nothing has yet

Enquirer of the 29th tilt.) been effected
by the agent towards making a treaty
with ihe Creek Indians. Those engaged
in speculations on Indian Lands seem to
feel much interest in having no treaty
though we understand, that President
Jackson is determined that they shall de
rive no advantage from the purchases. If
this be true, we think it likely u treaty
will be effected ultimately.
(GA Mr. Porter, in N. Y. advertises
patent clocks. The mechanism is said
to be remarkable on account of its ex
treme simplicity, being composed only of
a single wheel, two escapements and a
balance, (instead of a pendulum,) which
last, at every vibration, causes one of the
escapements to advance the wheel one
tooth, and the whole is thus kept in mo
tion without the aid of a spring, electrici
ty, or magnetism; but what is most sur
prising, is the eccentric movement of the
dial work, which by means of such sitn-

Church property. -The New York
Journal of Commerce stales that a suit
has (teen commenced against the corpo

object to dispossess said church of its im

HTThis is the age of reformation. A
tailor of Morristown, N. J., has come
out against the immoral practice of cab
baging; from 'he proceeds of which (he
says) numberless stocks are manufac
tured. The practice has continued, as
serts Mr. Geo. Adams, from the time of
Ananias & Saphira, whose conduct pro
bably suggested the idea to the craft. He
denounces cabbaging as morally wrong.'
Honesty. A boy, whose honesty is
more to be. commended than his ingenui
ty, once carried some butter to a mer
chant in a country village, to exchange
for goods. The butter having a very
beautiful appearance, and the merchant
being desirous of procuring such for his
own use, invited the boy to bring him all
the butter his mother had to spare. 'l
think," said the boy, "she can't spare any
more, for she said she would not have
spared this, only a rat fell into the cream
and she did not like to use it herself."
Pedestrianism The Sandusky Clar
ion gives an account of a rac f seven
and a half miles, on a smooth turnpike
road, between a pedestrian and a gentle
man with a horse and sulky, tor a purse
ot $1D0. The pedi strian was to have
thirty minutes the advantage in tune, but
won the race without apparent fatigue,
with fifteen minu'e to spare.
A short icay to be Married. A young
couple went not long since, into the mu
dy of a late Judge of our Supreme Court,
who by virtue of a commission as Justice
of the Peace, was authorized to sohou
nize marriage, and desired him to marry
them. "Very well," said his Honor,
whom they found writing, "pass me vour
certificate and you may go." The man
handed a eertifirate that the banns had
been published, but remained. The
Judge continued his employment, until
the impatient bridegroom again announ
ced the intention of his visit. "Very
well," said the Judge, and again pursued
his task. After some further delay the
neglected applicants once more remind
ed his honor of their desire to be marri
ed. "Why go home, said the magis
trate, "you have been married this half
hour." And it was true. The law only
requires an acknowledgment of intention
before a Justice of the Peace, and a re
cognization of that intention by the Jus
tice in his official capacity. There is no
form of words necessary to the purpose,
nor any ceremony, oilier than a simple
declaration, which the Judge did not per
mit for a moment to disturb his medita
lion. Ohio Exam.
Cure for the Consumption. A young
lady in the last stage of Consumption
was lately restored to health by the fol
lowing extraordinary and accidental rem
edy: She had been long attended by the
faculty but derived no benefit from their
prescriptions and considered herself ver
ging to the end of existence, when she
retired during the summer to a vale in
the country, with the intention to wait in
solitude, the hour of approaching disso
lution. While in thai situation, it was
her custom to rise us early as her malady
would permit, and contemplate the beau
ties of nature, and the wonderful uorks
of God, from her chamber window, from
which she observed a dog belonging to.

hones, owing to disease, constantly go
and lick the dew of a camomile bed m
the garden; in doing which the animal
was uotieed to alter its appearance, to
recover strength, and finally look plump,
and well. The singularity of the circum
stance was impressed strongly on the la
dy's mind, and induced her to try what
effect might be produced from following
the dog's example. She accordingly
procured the dew from the same bed of
camomile, drank a small quantity each
morning, and after continuing it for some
time, experienced very sensible relief;
her appetite became regular, sh found a
return of spirits, and in the end was com
